A Thomasville teenager was killed Friday when the dirt bike he was driving collided with a SUV on Ben Lee Road.

Austin Phillip Chatterton, 19, of Cedar Lodge Road, died at 12:02 p.m. at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem following surgery, according to the State Highway Patrol.

The accident happened about 7:41 a.m. one-half of a mile west of N.C. Highway 109 in the Fair Grove community.

Chatterton was traveling west on Ben Lee Road on a 2004 Honda motorcycle, and Steven John Burkett, 41, of Haley Lane, Thomasville, was driving east in an Explorer. Chatterton went left of center in a curve, according to the report, and his bike skidded on its side.

Burkett turned to the right in an attempt to avoid a collision, but the bike slid underneath the SUV and was run over. Chatterton was not wearing a helmet, according to the report. There was no immediate report of charges.
